As a result of China’s “one-child” policy and low mortality, the proportion of elderly citizens will contin-ue to grow very quickly, increasing the stress on an already troubled health care system.

This work has contrib-uted to understanding the characteristics of China’s oldest-old (ages 80 and older) and the dilemmas in meeting their health care needs.
